I've tested locally, Simon's suggested patch fixes evince, libreoffice and evolution entries for me, so I'll go ahead and upload it. Cheers, Julien

Yes, update-mime should only be parsing the fields from the
[Desktop Entry] group, something like this (untested):
my $in_desktop_group = 0;
while () {
chomp;
next if m/^\s*$|^\s*\#/);
if (m/^\[Desktop Entry\]$/) {
$in_desktop_group = 1;
next;
}
if (m/^\[.*\]$/) {
$in_desktop_group = 0;
next;
}
next unless $in_desktop_group;
if (m/^Terminal=(\w+)/i) {
... the rest of the current implementation ...
}
The [Desktop Action x] groups are not relevant when using an application
as a handler for opening files listed in MimeType.
See the specification[1] for full syntax.

Package: evince, mailcap Version: evince/41.2-1, mailcap/3.70 Hi, since upgrading from bullseye to bookworm, opening a pdf from mutt doesn't work. The /etc/mailcap entry says: > application/pdf; evince --new-window %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" and indeed "evince --new-window foo.pdf" doesn't actually open foo.pdf. Maybe this is intended though, and the problem is how update-mime parses evince's desktop file? Looks like it's using the Exec line from [Desktop Action new-window] (which didn't exist in bullseye) instead of from the main [Desktop Entry] section.
